Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large courgettes
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters milk
- 150 grams breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the courgettes thoroughly, and cut them into approximately 0.5 cm thick slices.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a second bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the milk until well combined.
In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dip each courgette slice first in the flour mixture, making sure it's thoroughly coated, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F), or until a small piece of breadcrumb sizzles and turns golden brown in a few seconds.
Fry the breaded courgette slices in batches, without overcrowding the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the courgette slices from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all courgette slices are cooked.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, and enjoy the crispy texture and savory flavor.
